I hadn't touched this in years, but I finally updated it for python3. A simple plugin to change the case of text on the clipboard. Enjoy.

Works well, thanks.

Just wanted to up-vote this one if possible. "s2" will launch Sublime Text 2, but won't match it in the Open With menu. As a LaunchBar convert, I'm hitting this a lot.

Additionally, some kind of version management. I'd love to be able to update workflows in place. Unless I'm missing it, I need to seek out new versions and install them again. Alfred seems to know to overwrite the old one fine, but it's still a manual process.

Can't test is right now, but I think ctrl-n and ctrl-p will move up and down for emacs wackos. I agree that the vi keys are nice too though. LaunchBar provides those (while holding ctrl).

A good description of this is at http://brettterpstra.com/2012/12/08/a-useful-caps-lock-key/
 

Just replace BetterTouchTool with Alfred at the end.

I've added a hotkey, but I think it will get disabled by Alfred on import. You'll have to re-assign the key of your choice after importing. I set it to ctrl-shift-C initially.

LaunchBar has an Instant Send feature for working with the selected text. Doesn't seem like Alfred has the equivalent.

A workflow to change the case of text on the clipboard to uppercase, lowercase, or title case.

Source code and more details on GitHub.

Or just download the workflow.

The `arg` part of a script filter's result (the bit passed on as {query}) is oddly an XML attribute instead of an element. This makes it harder to pass on newlines in results--they just turn into spaces. The trick is to escape the newlines as an entity reference like:

Most XML escape functions won't do that automatically, so you probably need to it yourself. Possibly double-quotes too. The best thing I came up with in Python is:

from xml.sax.saxutils import escape

safe_arg = escape(any_crazy_text, {'"': '"', '\n': '
'} )

I'd be happy to hear that there's a simpler way.

Just passing this on since it stumped me at first.
